LEADERS WHO PREFER HIM BECAUSE THE ENGLIs


DON'T LIKE HIN.
The Republican Club OF New York adopted re-
port last evening, with but one dissenting vote,
which sets forth that "a conference with the lead
ers OF the Irsh-Americans who voted for Blaine In
1854 discloses that they Will again vote for him,
and prefer his nomination to that OF any other
man" A member moved to strike out the attempt
TO boom Mr.. Blaine. He said he voted Tor MI.
Blaine and would vote for him again, but he de-
plored any direct or indirect Endorsement OF can
didate In advance OF the conventions action. lt
was explained that the report simply stated facts,
and that the name OF Foraker and sherman were
suggested to the Irish leaders. They, however,
said they emphatically preferred Mr.. Blaine as
the only man who had excited the disapproval OF
their English enemies. They did not object 10
Foraker and sherman, but they did prefer Blaine.

The Washingtons scored well-earned victory
over the Boston pets yesterday to 2, and 8 600
spectators left the grounds delighted when the
game was concluded. Young Gilmore proved con-
cluslvely by his excellent in the box that his
performance against the New York giants
last saturday was not accidental. The
heavy hltters from Boston could not mas
ter his delivery. Morrill, and Radbourne
struck out three times, and Johnston twice.
When the visitors succeeded in hitting the ball it
was AFTER they had two or three strikes in nearly
every instance. They were able to make but six
clean hits during the entire game, but allowed
seven errors to be recorded against them. The
home team, on the other hand, pounded Rad
bourne for sixteen clean hits Such work with
the stick against such a pitcher is phenomenal
but great many men were left on bases. Hor-
nung succeeded In shutting OF several runs by his
admirable fielding and throwing. Carroll. Hines,
The Wash1ngtons, besides hitting the ball ef-
fectively, played an almost perfect fielding game.
IAelr only errors were wild throws by Mack and
Donnelly when a runner was directly in front OF
him.

Chandler's Senatorial Fight.
ONLY THE SHORT TERM BE FILLED-TACTICs OF
THE OPPOSITION.

ONLY THE SHORT TERM TO BE FILLED-TACTICS OF
THE OPPOSITION.
Concord n H., Special to the Phila Press, June 8.
The republican caucus for nomination OF Sena-
tor will be held tomorrow evening and there Is no
doubt that VIM. E. Chandler will be the man. His
friends express great confidence tonight that he
will encounter little opposition and that his nomi-
nation will be followed by his election. The con-
ference last night settled the question OF electtng
one or two Senator'S and there will be an election
only for the short term. This is victory for
Chandler. He has constantly adhered to that posi-
ton in spite Of the general sentiment OF his party
to the contrary, and it is now probable that fur
ther attempt Will be made to elect for the long
term.
Chandler is at his headquarters tonight and ex-
presses the utmost confidence OF his election.
Ex-senator Wadleigh, whose election for a
second term was defeated by Chandler in 1879 Is
in town endeavOring TO pay on old scores. In an
opposition in the legislature to defeat him. but the
trouble is this opposition is without leadership,
and think it doubtful II 1t accompl1shes any
th1ng.n This practically sums up the situation.
As far as matters have yet developed, the only
significant thing as regards the opposition to
Chandler Is the fact that about forty members
failed to attend the conference, which Chandler,
through the columns OF the Monitor (his paper,)
had urged all to attend. II Twenty-Five or more
stay away from the caucus Tomorrow night 1t
will be Ominous. Gen. Marston, Representative
Bell, OF Exeter his colleague, and Representative
SullOWay, OF Manchester, will not attend. They
will head the opposition to Chandler IL 1t crystal
Lies after his nomination.

! ChIoAGo, Nov. 29.-This was fairly
st5ive day on the board of trade, aud
Prices of all the articles on the list were
quoted higher than yesterday. The big
Eest trading was done in pork, and in fact
during the morning session the attention
Of the brokers was turned almost entirely
TO il. The estimated receipts for the Gay
at the yards were only p, 900, while yester-
days estimates placed the arrivals at 80, 00I
Packers were reported as buyers of the
hogs at prices cents higher than yester-
Gay.
This state of things opened January pork
at 4.37H, against yesterdays close of
a422I6. Corn was strong in sympathy
with the opening at 81. Wheat continued
steady but declined TO S213QS22 for
May, later recovered to S2H@s2T.
Corn also fell off to 50}l during the first
hour, but pork remained strong and went
higher. January advanced to 1870. The
demand for wheat, after the first hour of
the session, was considerably improved in
3 local way and May picked up again to
f314, but did not remain quiet all of IT,
by noon the January option in pork had
bulged up TO 14.75 but after that reacted
a little. More bullish conditions at the
yards helped the local,markets all day The
rnorniug session closed with January pork
ht 14671y May wheat steady at So, and
May corn active at 51H. Closing prices
svere: May wheat, S2}ldY; May corn, 50H;
May oats, 32j5@A; January pork, 1465;
January lard 7.20: January short-ribs,
s.5215.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
